Winless Royal Challengers Bangalore may be in deep trouble but the man with the boyish face, Parthiv Patel, who is also the team's highest run-getter so far, still believes in the players. That said, he was candid enough to state that the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers have been a touch too anxious and hence not done as yet what they normally do with bat in hand.

Asked if he thought the duo looked tentative, Parthiv said: "I think everyone, once the tournament starts, wants to get runs initially and come into form. But [yes] they were quite tentative to start with and that's the reason they got out as well [against RR]. I thought Virat was batting well against Mumbai and AB started well in Chennai but he did get out."
